g 10 students.a. The students in group 1 earned 10 extra minutes of recess by winning a class competition. Before going out for their extra recess time, they form a single fileline. In how many ways can they line up?b. When all 30 students come in from recess together, they again form a single fileline. However,this time the students are arranged so that the first student is from group 1, the second from group 2, the third from group 3, and from there on, the students continue to alternate by group in this order.

Answer:

a. \\ 10! = 3628800;

b. \\ 10!*10!*10! = 47784725839872000000 = 4.7784725839872*10^{19}

Step-by-step explanation:

We need here to apply the <em>Multiplication Principle </em>or the <em>Fundamental Principle of Counting</em> for each answer. Answer <em>b</em> needs an extra reasoning for being completed.

The <em>Multiplication Principle</em> states that if there are <em>n</em> ways of doing something and <em>m</em> ways of doing another thing, then there are <em>n</em> x <em>m</em> ways of doing both (<em>Rule of product</em> (2020), in Wikipedia).

<h3>In how many ways can ten students line up? </h3>

There are <em>ten</em> students. When one is selected, there is no other way to select it again. So, <em>no repetition</em> is allowed.

Then, in the beginning, there are 10 possibilities for 10 students; when one is selected, there are nine possibilities left. When another is selected, eight possibilities are left to form the file, and so on.

Thus, we need to multiply the possibilities after each selection: that is <em>why</em> the <em>Multiplication Principle</em> is important here.

This could be expressed mathematically using n!:

\\ n! = n * (n-1)! * (n-2)! *...* 2*1.

For instance, \\ 5! = 5 * (5-1)! * (5-2)! *...*2*1 = 5 * 4 * 3 * 2 * 1 = 120.

So, for the case in question, the <em>ten</em> students can line up in:

\\ 10! = 10 * 9 * 8 * 7 * 6 * 5 * 4 * 3 * 2 * 1 = 3628800 ways to line up in a single file.

<h3>Second Question</h3>

For this question, we need to consider the former reasoning with extra consideration in mind.

The members of Group 1 can occupy <em>only</em> the following places in forming the file:

\\ G1 = \{ 1, 4, 7, 10, 13, 16, 19, 22, 25, 28\}^{th} <em>places</em>.

The members of Group 2 <em>only</em>:

\\ G2 = \{ 2, 5, 8, 11, 14, 17, 20, 23, 26, 29\}^{th} <em>places</em>.

And the members of Group 3, the following <em>only</em> ones:

\\ G3 = \{ 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21, 24, 27, 30\}^{th} <em>places.</em>

Well, having into account these possible places for each member of G1, G2 and G3, there are: <em>10! ways</em> for lining up members of G1; <em>10! ways</em> for lining up members of G2 and, also, <em>10! ways</em> for lining up members of G3.

After using the <em>Multiplication Principle</em>, we have, thus:

\\ 10! * 10! * 10! = 47784725839872000000 = 4.7784725839872 *10^{19} <em>ways the students can line up to come in from recess</em>.

Help please.<br><br> Find x.
Degger [83]
You have to use the Geometric Mean for triangles to find x.  Our form will look like this: \frac{2}{x} = \frac{x}{6+2} which simplifies to \frac{2}{x} = \frac{x}{8}.  Cross multiply to get x^{2} =16.  Therfore, x = 4.  Usually when we take the square root of a number we will end up with both the principle (positive) root and the negative one as well.  But since the 2 things in math that will never EVER be negative are time and distance/length, we will not consider the -4.  x = 4
